It seems Iike she's determined
to have your father carried back.

We have to yeII
when cIimbing the mountains...
:09:15
...crossing the river,
and passing the crossroads.
:09:20
What do we say?

:09:26
Everyone yeIIs at him
so that he remembers his way home.

is all that matters to her now.

I know about your wishes for the funeraI.

Don't you worry about that.
:10:41
Your father Iived here for 40 years.

He taught many generations of kids.
:10:51
He worked Iong hours aII these years.

The viIIagers shouId pay
their Iast respects to him.
